Detroit area Starbucks fans will be happy to know there will be coffee sampling in addition to live Slam Poetry
at the Max, Thursday, January 26, 2006. Competition is open for all who’ve got something on their mind, a little on
their chest, and a lot in their bite. Metro-Detroiters will go head-to-head for the opportunity to join the National
Poetry Slam Team. Not sure how many pig-skin fans would be willing to check out spoken word while waiting for the big
bowl game, but I’m sure someone out there is curious. If you’ve never had the chance to see live Slam Poetry keep in
mind it’s usually not the soft fluffy stuff you learn to write in grade school. The show kicks off at 8 PM and
additional information can be found here.
